About: Owner Steven Kent Mirassou’s family introduced the Pinot Noir grape to California in the 1850s. Today he continues his family’s tradition by striving “to make California’s best, most interesting, most collectable Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.” The Livermore winery partners with great vineyards in California and Oregon to make its wines. Mirassou also produces his Steven Kent wines here; see the Steven Kent Winery listing below.
